Unrelated Windows 7 Trick

This is unrelated but I was working on a proposal on my Windows 7 laptop last night and accidentally pressed Tab and the Windows key. What a cool effect. Perhaps I was the only one that did not know that trick. LOL

BlackBerry 6 sneak peak at WES 2010

Just found a cool app at WES. Vlingo brings speech commands to the Blackberry. It is a free download on AppWorld. It also reads incoming text and email and for a one-time $20 fee will allow you to dictate email and text messages. Stay tuned for my review as I compare it to Drive Safe.ly. Lon

Aside from the food and fun, there is sure to be some great products.

FYI: Storm OS Updated

Often times I run into people who have purchased a Blackberry Storm (RIM's new touchscreen Blackberry) and are running into all sorts of issues with it. Verizon just released the brand new OS (operating system) update! Whether it's their face touching buttons on the screen when they are on the phone, the camera acts funny or the browser experience is miserable the new update will fix all your problems!

The people I have helped to update their phones to the new OS have completely changed their minds about the device and are falling in love with their phone all over again. This update should keep you happy until the Storm 2 gets released within a 6 month time period

BB Browser Shortcuts

This is one of the best BB articles I have ever read. It's an article about shortcuts on your keyboard to help you use your BB internet more efficiently. There are a ton that I can't even remember but there are a few that I use religiously. The main one's I use are "r" for refresh. So when you are following a sports game that you are really into you can just keep hitting "r" to refresh and check to see if the score has changed. "t" and "b" will get you to the top and bottom of the page. Check out the article yourself
